A narrow linewidth and tunable XeF(C–A) laser

Abstract

With a comparatively simple design, a wavelength tunable optically pumped XeF(C–A) laser with narrow linewidth is set up. Experiments are performed under different conditions to narrow the linewidth of the XeF(C–A) laser to the range of 0.2–1 nm, with an output energy of higher than 2 J in the spectral range of 460–500 nm. The wavelength of the XeF(C–A) laser can be tuned in the spectral range of 448–518 nm.
